bridge to far
A quick decision at 12:30 got me in the car and heading north up the M6 toward Arnside. Carmen and myself arrived all wrapped up in thermals and fleece to be greeted by the RAIN!!!! aw well we had a nice cuppa coffee and then headed down the banks of the kent estuary for a gentle wet stroll. This is the viaduct that stretches across the estuary carrying the railway.
The railway Line opened in 1857, and the viaduct was rebuilt in 1915. There are a total of 50 piers, and the viaduct is 522 yards long.

Chimney
This was the subject that caught my eye today whilst out and about around the barrow bridge area of Bolton. It is the remains of the Barrow bridge mill. The mill closed in the 1847, but it was not demolished immediately. It survived in an increasing state of disrepair until at least 1905 butthe chimney still stands.

Sunday dinner
Nothing appealing today due to me being in the kitchen making Moussaka. Not a true moussaka but my take on the dish.
fried mincemeat, onion, carrot and mushroom.
Tomatoes,rosemary,thyme,oregano,cumin,garlic,nutmeg and a pinch of paprika.
A layer of parboiled thinly sliced potatoes sauteed in olive oil, covered with a cheese sauce and topped with Parmesan cheese baked for 40 Min’s 180C

Kiboko
Picked the Grandkids up today and set off up the motorway toward Glasson dock. The day was bright enough but the wind was a lazy wind (went straight through you rather than go around ) so we managed a couple shots and then off to the greasy spoon for a nice cuppa tea and something to eat.

Country cafe
Today saw me and a friend go off to Tockholes to take a look at the cafe up there that has a oneway mirror to view the wildlife. There was numerous birds like robin,finches,a family of great spotted woodpecker etc,etc but…………….due to the day being another rainy day up north the light was terrible in the cafe and outside. I did manage to sneak a shot of these dominique chickens on our way out at around 14:25 and the rain had just stopped but not for long.
